Lost in the media hype surrounding the addresses of Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday was a bombshell claim by the president of Argentina.
President Christina Fernandez de Kirchener announced that her nation had been approached by an Obama administration official with a request that Argentina provide enriched nuclear fuel to the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2010.
The official in question was Gary Samore, former White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, who did not dispute the seemingly outrageous claim and has been open about his opposition to the nuclear agreement currently worked out between Obama and Iran.
Kirchener said that Samore wanted Argentina to provide nuclear fuel to Iran, ostensibly to counter Iran’s excuse that they needed nuclear fuel for their reactors, removing the impetus for them to continue their own uranium enrichment program.
Kirchener stated that the deal fell through when her government asked for the request in writing, to abide by proper protocol, at which point the issue was dropped and Kirchener never heard from Samore again about it.
For his part, Samore released a statement admitting that he had in fact traveled to Argentina in 2010 and made the request, though he insinuated the incident was no big deal.
In fact, Samore went on to explain how after Argentina balked at the deal, he subsequently approached France and Russia with a similar proposal in which Iran would send their low-enriched uranium to Russia, which would further enrich it before sending it along to France.
France would in turn finish converting the enriched uranium into nuclear reactor fuel, sending it back to Iran for its own use, ostensibly preventing the Islamic republic from weaponizing its uranium stockpiles.
This deal fell through as well, according to Samore, leading to the 2010 U.N. resolution that increased economic sanctions on Iran, ultimately bringing them to the bargaining table for the horrible deal Obama eventually worked out with them this year.
The White House did not immediately respond to the potentially treasonous allegations.
The thought of a country as unstable as Argentina supplying nuclear material is unnerving though.
Imagine my surprise...
This is not what it seems...at least by the dacts in this story.
Corect me if i am wrong...
Enriching uranium creates byproducts you need for a nuclear bomb.
Having a third party enrich the uranium would keep the fissile material out of the hands of Iran.
What this does show is that Iran wants to enrich it themselves because they want the fissile material that is a byproduct of the process... .so they can make a bomb

Uh oh.
Yup.
Vote trump
Kirchner is a leftist leader whose country is deep in debt, but Rush Limbaugh did say the other day that Senator Corker and the GOP were just as eager to lift Iran sanctions as Obama and the “Corker bill” did just that.
Rush pointed out that Boeing hopes to do business fixing up Iran’s airliner fleet if all the frozen assets (150 billion dollars) are unfreezed.
Business interests drive the Uniparty in Washington which gets its campaign money from the lobbyists........
Yawn.....
Isn’t enrichment to domestic use levels the major portion of the enrichment process?
Sending enriched uranium to Iran would speed up their getting weapons grade.
They wouldn’t send it out to be made into fuel rods.
Ho Lee Phuck!!!
C’mon.
They need the cash and have the uranium. Its a free market.
AND obama queued it up!
What Iran and Argentina did after that is up to them, knowing full well that if Obama caught wind of it nothing would happen.
After all? Its going to be made for America and delivered to America! Consistent with the Obama play book.
What could go wrong???
I’ll bet its Argentinian. Go get a sample and analyse it.That will get rid of all doubts in short order,
The law does not seem to apply to Obama and his friends. He seems more like the gangster-in-chief than anything else.

Should be the lead story on EVERY TV NETWORK IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA!
“I would take this with a grain of salt.”
Read the article. The Obama official she accused freely admitted to the factual nature of the main points of her allegation.
“Strangely” enough they mentioned nothing about killary/jezebel’s sale to Russia???
Treason against humanity?
She’s been ill
